Reversing a rotation constraint now uses Copy = -1
Rive changed how rotation constraints behave. You can no longer type a negative value to reverse the direction. Set the Copy value to -1 instead. Short walkthrough inside.
Rive recently changed how rotation constraints work. You can no longer type a negative value directly into the constraint to make an object rotate in the opposite direction.
The way to do it now is through the Copy field. Set Copy to -1 instead of 1, and the object rotates the other way. Same result, different control.
The short video above walks through it step by step.
